doesn't come here and give particular dircc-
tions not to be shaved high on the face or
under his eyes lie thinks, you know, that
being shaved up there makes the hair grow,
and lie Is terrified by the idea OF having
whiskers just under his eyelids. Nearly
everybody has the same notion. It's all
nonsense. No amount OF shaving viii

NOTES.

Short stories will appear in the November
Seribner's, by Rebeeca Harding Davis and Mar
garet Crosby. The former writes Of life on q
Louisiana bayou plantation.
Gen. Francis A. Walker does not share in the
anxiety which finds pretty free expression in
scientific and literary quarters, touching the
spread of socialistic ideas. In an article TO be
published in the Forum for May he draws =
clear line of distinction between "the social
lists, the terrible fire-eaters who would wreck,
pillagc and destroy all civilization, and who are
simply TO be treated with the club or the strait
jacket, or on occasion with the rope; and the
advocates of a form of Government more or
less socialis.ic, men who believe that Govern
ment is best employed in promoting, in every
fair aud feasible way, the good of the governed.
